Mirela Prodan, BACP

Mirela Prodan is a United Kingdom credentialed therapist with three years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse, bereavement and major life transitions. She combines practical therapeutic methods with a compassionate, person-first approach to help clients rebuild confidence, manage difficult emotions and find clearer direction during times of change.

Working with motivation, self-esteem, and coping after loss, Mirela aims to create an open and nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. She encourages clients to take the courageous first steps toward greater wellbeing and partners with them to set realistic goals and develop coping strategies that fit everyday life.

Mirela holds a BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and practices from a stance of respect and collaboration. Her focus includes trauma and abuse recovery, grief work, and support for those experiencing relationship and attachment difficulties, isolation, or midlife challenges. She is committed to empowering people to make sustainable changes and to strengthening resilience through evidence-informed techniques and attentive listening.

Approaches that inform online therapy

Mirela uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client’s experience, offering empathy and unconditional acceptance so individuals can explore feelings and values at their own pace. This approach is helpful for building self-esteem, clarifying life purpose, and working through interpersonal or attachment concerns.

She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and reshape unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours. CBT is practical and skills-focused, supporting people with anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes by teaching tools for emotional regulation and problem-solving.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the journey, and Mirela collaborates with each person to find the best fit based on their needs, goals and preferences. She combines methods when appropriate and adjusts strategies as progress unfolds to ensure therapy feels relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Mirela is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals while balancing work, family and other responsibilities.
